Flower-strip agri-environment schemes provide diverse and valuable summer flower resources for pollinating insects (2018, background): “Providing flower resources during summer months helps to support insects, while continuity in resource provision is necessary to sustain populations (Roulston and Goodell 2011; Schellhorn et al. 2015; Scheper et al. 2015).”
Plant–pollinator interactions and phenological change: what can we learn about climate impacts from experiments and observations? (2015, background): “Increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations can also have direct eff ects on nectar production (Rusterholz and Erhardt 1998, Lake and Hughes 1999, Erhardt et al. 2005) as well as on plant growth and reproduction (Jablonski et al. 2002, Poorter and Navas 2003).”
From research to action: Enhancing crop yield through wild pollinators (2014, background): “No-tillage farming may enhance populations of groundnesting bees given that many species place their brood cells 30 cm below the surface (Roulston and Goodell 2011).”
The effect of repeated, lethal sampling on wild bee abundance and diversity (2015, positive): “Bees often compete for limiting resources, including floral food resources (Minckley et al. 1994; Roulston & Goodell 2011) and nesting (A) Catch rate Treatment 1, 8 93 0 27 0 619 Type 1, 21 41 6 31 0 020 Valley 2, 9 79 2 27 0 155 Flower density 1, 21 46 3 53 0 074 Max temp 1, 17 25 1 38 0…”
Do sown flower strips boost wild pollinator abundance and pollination services in a spring-flowering crop? A case study from UK cider apple orchards (2017, background): “…effects of flower strips on wild pollinators take time to materialise, as natural 445 time lags exist in the response of insect populations to changes in resource 446 availability, i.e. where current population size reflects resource availability in the 447 previous year (Roulston & Goodell 2011).”
Gauging the Effect of Honey Bee Pollen Collection on Native Bee Communities (2017, background): “Pollen availability is thought to regulate wild bee populations more than any other factor (Roulston & Goodell 2010).”
Worldwide decline of the entomofauna: A review of its drivers (2019, background): “Their populations are largely dependent on food specialisation within a limited foraging range and habitat resources for nesting (Roulston and Goodell, 2011).”
Factors affecting bee communities in forest openings and adjacent mature forest (2017, background): “Bees in openings were generally positively related to floral index, which is consistent with other studies (e.g., Potts et al., 2003; Roulston and Goodell, 2011; Torne-Noguera et al., 2014).”
Providing foraging resources for solitary bees on farmland: current schemes for pollinators benefit a limited suite of species (2017, background): “There is an increasing consensus behind the idea that food resources are the most important limiting factor for bee populations on farmland (Roulston & Goodell 2011) and that loss of flowering resources resulting from agricultural intensification is the major cause behind the declines in bee…”
Identifying key knowledge needs for evidence‐based conservation of wild insect pollinators: a collaborative cross‐sectoral exercise (2013, background): “A variety of evidence suggests that floral resource availability is the primary direct factor influencing wild bee abundance (Roulston & Goodell, 2011).”
Phenology of farmland floral resources reveals seasonal gaps in nectar availability for bumblebees (2019, background): “…floral nectar and pollen resources (Goulson, Nicholls, Botias, & Rotheray, 2015; Potts, Vulliamy, Dafni, Ne'eman, & Willmer, 2003), nesting sites (Steffan‐Dewenter & Schiele, 2008) and various other factors such as disease, pesticides and predators (Goulson et al., 2015; Roulston & Goodell, 2011).”
Landscapes with wild bee habitats enhance pollination, fruit set and yield of sweet cherry (2012, positive): “Natural high-diversity habitats benefit wild bees by providing a variety of nesting sites and alternative flower resources beyond the short mass-flowering periods of crop plants (Krewenka et al., 2011; Roulston and Goodell, 2011).”
Wild bee abundance declines with urban warming, regardless of floral density (2018, background): “It is well-documented that bee populations are often limited by floral availability (Roulston and Goodell 2011), that floral abundance and diversity structure bee communities (Potts et al.”
How well do we understand landscape effects on pollinators and pollination services (2012, background): “…many pollinator species, as spatial organization affects resource availability (Andersson et al. 2007, Jha & Vandermeer 2010; Cruz-Neto et al. 2011; Roulston & Goodell 2011) and determines functional connectivity, i.e., ‘the capacity of the landscape (or landscape units) to facilitate biological…”
